What is recorded here

Mortuary chapel fragments from 1735 and older 13th-century door stones are scattered through the Coad graveyard, some set into graves as markers. The chapel belonged to Thomas MacGorman of Inchiquin and stood against the east gable of the church before it was lost. One grave marker may still carry his crest, a man with a spear on a small horse, saved from the chapel when it opened in 1839.

In a graveyard (CL017-066002-) which also contains a late-15th/16th century church (CL017-066001-). A number of architectural fragments lie throughout the graveyard, some reused as grave-markers. Among them are two probable 13th-century door jambstones: one (L 0.28m; Wth 0.21m; H 0.35m) has two orders and the second (H 0.2m) has two matching orders. The graveyard also contains a tall stone with 18th-century egg-and-dart decoration and Large (2011) noted several other architectural fragments including barge stones, roof corbels and jambstones. Macnamara (1901, 361) suggested that some of the architectural fragments reused as grave-markers were taken from a demolished mortuary chapel built against the exterior face of the church’s E gable in 1735 by Thomas MacGorman of Inchiquin. One grave-marker which is part of a crest with a man with a spear on a small horse may be a ‘stone with armorial bearings’ that was found within the MacGorman mortuary chapel in 1839 (Comber 1997, 15).
